Nissan Duramax

[mick]

Heath, new member here lives about 2 hours North of me in Brisbane Australia. He was good enough to lend me a part for my LLY and drove down on Saturday in his 2000 Nissan Patrol that hes forced an LBZ and Alli 6speed into. It has 411's and 35s and after a ride Id say would go 12s ok what with 443 at the wheels and half the weight of my truck. It has alot of trick things in it and looks like I got a buddy to help support the diesel drags out here. Thanks Heath. Maybe you wouldnt mind telling us about your build. I know theres alot more than the chrome moly pipework you can see everywhere.

Love the little rotary powered RX's and corollas and such too, that sound makes my hair stand on end! I want a Datsun 510 with a PAC20b or a Dyson!

thanks

Hey everyone thanks for the kind words.

Yeah the instrument cluster was a fluke really. I bought it and it fitted very well.

I removed the cab to install the motor and trans. I wanted the motor back for better front rear balance and i still wanted full bump stop compression in the front suspension. I then lowered the body and started cutting. The only major cutting was for the exhaust.

All the fire wall, inside and underside of the cab have been lined with polyurethance, to give it a water proof cab. And i can hose it out also.

The motor and trans is standard for now. I thought it would be easier to get it all running, before i start playing with it (it makes it hard also with mick just down the road now, oh well).

I plan on doing some drag racing and who knows. It weight in a 5400lbs full of fuel as you see it in the pics, so i was happy with that. I was building it for 4x4 comp truck but see what happens. No hurry really, see what this drag racing thing brings.

Any other question just ask away, cheers Heath.

Heath
Thanks for the info,I have a feeling once you do some racing you will be hooked
bad enough that you have Mick down the road also

Does the truck run good and you have all the bugs worked out of it?

thanks again for the info

Yeah the truck runs good. I have had not dramas with it yet.

I have only done 1000 miles since i have had it all running.

Cheers Heath

When heath took me for a spin it spun the wheels pretty easy in the first 3 gears without trying

 

[whitetrash21]

New pics and rims

Some new pictures, got it painted on the weekend. Also my wheels and tyres turned up. They are the 18x9 rockstars with 33-12.5/18 ATZ Mickey thompsons.

Here is the adaptor i get made to bolt the allison to a nissan transfer.

I am going to a test and tune this saturday to see what i can run, hopefully a flat 12 is on the cards.

Hope you like, Cheers Heath
